Hi, I'm new to R and there is something I'm missing about how it uses memory. I'm doing a simple query (using RODBC package) and immediately set the data.frame to null close the connection/channel and explicitly call to the garbage collector (gc()) however when I look in the task monitor I see both "VM size" and ""Mem Usage" increased every time (for the RGui).
I tried this on different configurations: windowxp64 / windowsxp and R version 2.4.1 and 2.5.1. What I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Yoni. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
